In this episode, we explore the complexities of authority, from the consent of the governed to the potential pitfalls of earned expertise, based on our recent trip to Austria, which is a socialist country. We discuss how different economic systems, like capitalism and socialism, shape power dynamics and individual freedoms. We also examine the dangers of hyper-individualism, where personal determination of right and wrong can lead to influential but maybe wrong experts. Join us as we unpack how societal design influences the authority we experience and the choices we make.

In this episode we dive into the intricate dynamics of multicultural families, where language, tradition, and identity overlap.

We weren’t sure we were going to release this episode, but after editing realized it was all the more timely since part of the reason we went was to spend time with my dad who has since passed away. RIP Mars Tare. Pa, you are dearly missed.
